lib: devres: add convenience function to remap a resource

2011-11-16T00:07:39Z

Almost every platform_driver does the three steps get_resource, request_mem_region, ioremap. This does not only lead to a lot of code duplication, but also a huge number of similar error strings and inconsistent error codes on failure. So, introduce a helper function which simplifies remapping a resource and make it hard to do something wrong and add documentation for it.

docs/driver-model: Update device class docs

2011-08-24T23:01:24Z

The driver model documentation was added to the kernel tree before struct class was added to . Hence this patch that updates the paragraph about struct class in Documentation/driver-model/binding.txt. Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Cc: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

docs/driver-model: Document device.groups

2011-08-24T23:01:24Z

Several drivers use device_create_file() where device.groups should be used instead. This patch documents that and also removes the comments about device classes since these should not be used in new code in the way documented until now in Documentation/driver-model/device.txt.

DOCUMENTATION: Replace create_device() with device_create().

2011-06-07T17:04:22Z

Fix a rather obvious typo. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

DOCUMENTATION: Update overview.txt in Doc/driver-model.

2011-06-07T17:04:21Z

A few grammatical fixes, clarifications and corrections in just the overview file for the driver model documentation. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: remove the driver-model structures from the documentation

2011-05-07T01:01:05Z

Remove the struct bus_type, class, device, device_driver from the driver-model docs. With another patch add them to device.h, since they are out of date. That will keep things up to date and provide a better way to document this stuff. Signed-off-by: Wanlong Gao Acked-by: Harry Wei Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: prune docs about device_interface

2010-11-11T00:57:11Z

drivers/base/intf.c was removed before the beginning of (git) time but its Documentation stuck around. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Brandon Philips Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Fix spelling of 'platform' in comments and doc

2010-02-05T11:22:34Z

Replace platfrom -> platform. This is a frequent spelling bug. Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

Driver core: driver_attribute parameters can often be const*

2009-12-23T19:23:43Z

Many struct driver_attribute descriptors are purely read-only structures, and there's no need to change them. Therefore make the promise not to, which will let those descriptors be put in a ro section. Signed-off-by: Phil Carmody Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
